Abstract
Hybrid materials built from conjoined structures of graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have important properties for novel applications. In this communication we have performed a numerical study of these structures and have found two types: (i) CNT and GNR structures formed by van der Waals forces with a distance close to 0.35 nm and (ii) CNT and GNR structures interconnected by short (0.17 nm) and strong chemical bonds. It appears that the latter bonds essentially perturb conjoined carbon C6 rings. The reason for the perturbation is the pseudo-Jahn–Teller effect.
